Ludhiana: The class 12 results declared by the Punjab School Education Board on Saturday brought smiles and relief to two girls,who were in the states top 10 list,and they achieved this without any coaching. These days,students think that tuitions are vital to score well,but my familys financial position did not allow me to take external coaching. However,I was determined to do well, said Saloni,who topped the district in the non-medical stream with 94.89 per cent. She stood ninth in Punjab. A student of R S Model Senior Secondary School,Shastri Nagar,Saloni wants to pursue aeronautical engineering,but feels that her aim is too expensive for her family to afford. My father is a salesman and mother a homemaker. I have decided to graduate in science from Government College for Girls,Ludhiana,and then prepare for the civil services examination, Saloni added. Her classmate Sarita Khurana,who stood second in the district and 10th in Punjab in medical stream,too never took any tuitions. Her father runs a grocery shop and mother is a homemaker. I want to pursue MBBS from AIIMS,but due to financial constraints I will try to get in Rajendra Medical College,Patiala. I never preferred tuitions,as I feel self-study is most satisfying.
